One of the, if not THE best books that covers everything is sold by RC Modeler Magazine...Flight Training Course - and is worth its weight in gold (IMHO).

Go to the local bookstore and pick up a copy - and turn to the back of the mag....and look for 'RCM Anthology Books, Videos, etc" .

I've been into R/C for over 30 years and still refer to this book for hints, helps and just plain 'refresher' ideas.
